I (and others on the PDML) have had some success with the Epson V600 Photos flatbed scanner. Or similar. Workflow is decent, not limited to 35mm, useful if you have any 645 or 6x6 or 6x7 negatives or slides, also useful for scanning photos and other paper.
There are also a couple of scanning services. It has been 10 years since I last did this, but I boxed my slides, sent them someplace in the U.S. The company sent them on to India. Thumbnails of the images were uploaded, I could deselect those that didn’t look good. They then did color balance etc on the keepers, sent it all back to me with the scanned images on a CD. IIRC, it was $.40-.50 per slide, (just charged for the keepers) cheaper than buying a good scanner if this is a one-time thing with relatively few slides. Also far less time consuming! I have a vast collection of my own and my father-in-law’s slides and negatives in 35mm and medium formats. Every few months I spend some time scanning, get bored, and move on to something else. At some point I will give up and send them off for someone else to do… stan > On Apr 7, 2017, at 11:45 AM, Doug Brewer <[email protected]> wrote: > > I've been cleaning out my storage room in the basement, AKA The Camera and > Computer Museum, and have uncovered boxes and boxes of slides, some of which > are passable photos, and have become interested in maybe scanning some of > them.
